SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS; RESPONSE TIME; CREDITS
This section applies to Internet data transmission and reception and Managed Hosting and colocation services. This section does not apply to voice service interruptions otherwise regulated by the State of Tennessee. Aeneas will respond to Customer’s notification of a problem within a reasonable time of initial contact, which will generally be within 15 minutes of initial contact. Furthermore, Customer Care will proactively notify Customer of critical loss of service to Customer upon request of such service. All Customer contact information must be accurate and up to date. Customer is solely responsible for insuring that Aeneas has the proper contact information.

This section does not provide credits when service degradation or disruption (a) occurs during scheduled maintenance, (b) is the result of telephone plant outages on shared transport or services including but not limited to Frame Relay, and ATM, (c) is related to acts or omissions of the Customer or authorized agent, (d) is the result of an act or omission of a third party against the Customer or Customer’s agent, (e) arises from improper use or malfunction of Customer equipment, facilities, or applications, (f) is related to adverse weather, natural disasters, acts of God, civil disorders, or other occurrences beyond the reasonable control of Aeneas, (g) is related to non-payment on past due accounts.

This section does provide a credit equal to proration of monthly recurring charges for the period of service interruption. Such period of interruption shall not constitute a basis for termination of term contracts, provided, Aeneas undertakes restoration of service in a reasonable manner and service deprivation is less than 24 hours in any thirty day period.

Service degradation or disruption only qualifies for a credit if Customer informs Customer Care within five days of outage, or if Customer Care proactively informs Customer that the cause was definitively unrelated to any actions or events not excluded above.

INDEMNIFICATION
No contract or agreement with Aeneas shall create legal rights or benefits in third parties. Upon a request by Aeneas, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Aeneas and its subsidiaries and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, officers, and directors from all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including attorney's fees, that arise from your use or misuse of our website or Aeneas products, software, or services provided to your network. Aeneas reserves the right, at it own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with Aeneas in asserting any available defenses.

INTERNATIONAL USE
Aeneas makes no representation that materials on its website are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States, and accessing them from territories where their contents are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access this site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

LONG DISTANCE USAGE SUSPENSION
For your security, Aeneas Internet and Telephone reserves the right to temporarily suspend 1+ dialing in the event of unusual or excessive toll call volume to protect customers from fraud or theft. Aeneas Internet and Telephone also reserves the right to temporarily suspend 1+ dialing on new telephone accounts that do not have established pay history.

ACCEPTABLE USAGE OF BANDWIDTH
The Aeneas network is designed for typical usage by a typical computer user. Computer activity resulting in excessive or sustained bandwidth consumption may burden the network and such usage may be restricted. Bandwidth on our network is a limited, shared resource among subscribers. Because we seek to provide the Service at a reasonable cost to the largest number of users, the use of our network is subject to usage limitations. Users therefore must comply with the current bandwidth, data throughput, and other limitations on the Service, including the excessive use guidelines described below. Users must ensure their activity does not improperly restrict, inhibit, or degrade any other user's use of the Service, nor represent (in the sole but reasonable judgment of Aeneas) an unusually large burden on the network itself. In addition, users must ensure that their activity does not improperly restrict, inhibit, disrupt, degrade or impede Aeneas' ability to deliver the Service and monitor the Services, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services. Aeneas strives to provide customers the best experience when using our network, a shared resource among hundreds of thousands of customers.

Aeneas may use tools and techniques to manage its network, deliver the Service, and ensure compliance with this Policy and the Subscriber Agreement. These tools and techniques are dynamic, like the network and its usage, and can and do change frequently. For example, these network management activities may include (i) identifying spam and preventing its delivery to customer e-mail accounts, (ii) detecting malicious Internet traffic and preventing the distribution of viruses or other harmful code or content, (iii) limiting speeds during periods of extended congestion, (iv) requiring an upgrade or purchase of a different Internet service and (v) using other tools or techniques that Aeneas may be required to implement in order to meet its goal of delivering the best broadband Internet experience to all its customers.

We collect data on customer traffic pattern usage through the use of traffic management software. Aeneas reserves the right to conduct tests to improve network security, to enhance the performance of our network, and to determine whether to make available new service offerings. These technical tests are performed almost continuously and without notice. Users may also monitor their bandwidth usage in the CNM section of http://www.aeneas.com/cnm. Please contact our office for additional details.

Excessive use means bandwidth or data usage that is significantly higher than typical usage for which our network is designed. Excessive Users consume so much data that their usage could negatively impact the Service provided to other customers. Therefore, if Aeneas in its sole but reasonable discretion determines that a customer has exceeded the Excessive Use threshold or is using the Service in a manner significantly uncharacteristic of a typical user, Aeneas reserves the right to (a) adjust, suspend or terminate Service accounts at any time and without notice; or (b) require the user to upgrade his service level or pay additional fees in accordance with Aeneas then-current, applicable rates and charges for such Service; or (c) use any technology to be chosen by Aeneas at its sole discretion to slow the user?s service for purposes of conserving bandwidth.

Common activities that may cause excessive bandwidth consumption in violation of this Policy include, but are not limited to, numerous or continuous bulk transfers of files and other high capacity traffic using (i) file transfer protocol ("FTP"), (ii) peer-to-peer applications, and (iii) newsgroups, whether provided by Aeneas or a third party.

Aeneas' residential service offering does not provide the type of security, upstream performance and total downstream throughput capability typically associated with commercial use. You may not run a server in connection with the Aeneas residential service, nor may you provide network services to others via the Aeneas residential service . Examples of prohibited uses include, but are not limited to, running servers for mail (pop3 & smtp), http, https, FTP, IRC, DHCP and multi-user interactive forums. For information about commercial Internet pricing, please see www.aeneas.com.

CHOICE OF LAW AND FORUM
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, excluding its conflicts of law rules. You expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claim or action arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your use of our services shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Madison County, State of Tennessee, and you further agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action.

SEVERABILITY AND INTEGRATION
Unless otherwise specified herein, this agreement (which includes any signed contract) constitutes the entire agreement between you and Aeneas with respect to our services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and Aeneas with respect to our services. If any part of these Terms of Service and Use is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

Network Maintenance Policy
Overview
The network Aeneas maintains consists of a variety of network routers, switches and other equipment which carry voice and Internet service to our residential and commercial users. As with all forms of computer equipment, to keep services running smoothly, these devices require regular maintenance (hardware and software) upgrades, and in the event of a failure, replacement. In addition, certain devices require changes to configurations.

When Aeneas performs operations that potentially impact the services provided through our network, in an attempt to minimize disruption in service, Aeneas works within announced timeframes/windows when possible. The purpose of this document is to clarify the policies and procedures governing maintenance work on the networks for which Aeneas is responsible and the communication of issues that occur on these networks.

Disruptions
A disruption consists of any event or condition that may negatively impact either performance or service to our customers. Disruptions are classified as one of the following types:

Degradation - Degradation is a reduction in network service to a device or area. The service or network is still functioning, but it is functioning in a diminished capacity.

Outage - An outage is a loss in network service to a device or area. An outage can occur with respect to connectivity or other services that are provided on the network. The service or network is not functioning, and there is a total loss in connectivity.

Disruptions can be caused by failure of a network device or server, power outages, failed cables, failure of a service, denial of service attacks, and a variety of other activities that can occur on a network. In all cases, a disruption will result in maintenance activity.

Maintenance All work performed on the networks for which Aeneas is responsible is conducted as a form of maintenance. This work may or may not result in a disruption of service, depending on the scope of the activity. There are two types of maintenance activities:

Emergency Maintenance - Reactive or proactive work to address an extant service disruption or credible threat thereof. This includes responding to power failures, device failures, security vulnerabilities, etc. While these activities will be announced and consideration given to lead time, remediation of disruptions or mitigation of credible threats will receive precedence.

Notifications
To better serve you and to keep you informed, Aeneas offers Network Maintenance Notifications. All customers wishing to receive notification of either scheduled or emergency maintenance must enroll to receive network maintenance notifications. These are typically sent via email to 1 person per organization or household at the email address registered during the enrollment process. In the case of public safety offices and/or first responders Aeneas will also attempt to place a phone call to the phone number provided during the enrollment process. Should it become necessary to change the notification email address and/or phone number subscribers should call Aeneas as soon as practical to get the information updated.

In the case of scheduled maintenance, every attempt will be made to send all notifications > 24 hours prior to the event. For emergency maintenance Aeneas shall send notifications whenever practical to do so without delaying the maintenance event. All notifications shall include at a minimum, the window during which the service may be affected, and contact information for questions regarding the maintenance.

Missed Appointment Policy

Aeneas makes every effort to work orders in a timely manner. To avoid any missed appointment charges, you should inform us immediately if you or your site will not be ready for installation or a service visit.

A Service Date Dispatch Charge of $200 will be billed each time a technician is dispatched to install services and the customer or site is not ready for the installation. These charges will be billed each time a dispatch is attempted and the customer or the site is not ready. A $150 Service Date Change-Additional Dispatch Charge may also be applicable and billed to assign a new due date each time a due date is changed.

To avoid the charges for nonproductive dispatches, you must inform Aeneas 24 hours prior to the currently scheduled due date.

IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL AENEAS, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS , AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OR CONTRACTORS (THE “AENEAS PARTIES”) BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SYSTEM DAMAGE, OR LOSS OF DATA, PRIVACY REVENUE, PROFITS, USE OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE) ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, (i) THE DOWNLOADING OF THE BOMGAR SOFTWARE ONTO YOUR COMPUTER, (ii) THE REMOTE CONTROL SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE OPERATOR(S), (iii) ANY INTERRUPTION TO USE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL SERVICE, OR (iv) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH THE REMOTE CONTROL SERVICE, EVEN IF THE AENEAS PARTY(IES) FROM WHICH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

The parties agree that the dispute shall be resolved using one arbitrator unless the parties agree to a greater number of arbitrators.

The arbitration proceedings shall be held in Jackson, Tennessee, U.S.A. and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, the intentions of the parties as stated herein, international commercial practice, and the governing law of this Agreement. The award in arbitration shall be final and binding, and judgment upon award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made for judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement. If it becomes necessary for either party to enforce an arbitral award by legal action or additional arbitration or judicial methods, the party against whom the award is ultimately enforced shall pay all reasonable costs and attorney's fees incurred by the party in enforcing the award. THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR CLASS TREATMENT OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH THEREOF, PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE A PARTY FROM SEEKING TO COMPEL ARBITRATION IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE SHALL GOVERN THIS AGREEMENT.

Equipment Lease Policy

Equipment is, and shall at all times be, and will remain the sole and exclusive, property of Aeneas. You agree to pay the applicable rental fees set forth in your contract. The lease term for each Item of Equipment is detailed in the applicable contract and will expire on the service end date after the Equipment is returned to Aeneas in good working condition. If equipment remains unreturned after your service end date, you will be charged the full retail price of Equipment.

You agree to inspect the Equipment upon receipt and immediately notify Aeneas of any damages, malfunction or missing components so that Aeneas can take appropriate measures. Once the Equipment has been delivered to your location, it is your responsibility to ensure that the equipment is not stolen, damaged, or otherwise harmed. The repair of any damage (other than fair wear and tear) will be your responsibility. If any of the Equipment is lost, stolen, or damaged during the Rental Period, Aeneas reserves the right to charge you the retail price of the lost, stolen or damaged item/s.

Should the Equipment malfunction for reasons other than misuse or accidental damage, Aeneas will repair or replace the product at no charge to you. In the case of malfunctions or damage caused by accident or misuse the Equipment repairs will be your responsibility. If replacements are needed, Aeneas reserves the right to replace the Equipment with an equivalent system.

Aeneas is not liable for any damage, injury or loss to any person or property arising from the possession, operation or use of the Equipment. In any event Aeneas’s liability is limited, at Aeneas's choice, to: (a) the replacement of Equipment with the same or equivalent Equipment; (b) the repair of the relevant Equipment.

Network Neutrality

We at Aeneas commit to the following Nondiscrimination and Interconnection Obligations:

We adhere to the principles contained in the FCC’s Internet Policy Statement (FCC 05–151, adopted August 5, 2005).

We do not favor any lawful Internet applications and content over others.

We display all network management policies in a prominent location on our web page and provide notice to customers of changes to these policies.

We offer connectivity to the public Internet directly and indirectly, while keeping full intentions of not making a private closed network.

We offer interconnection, where technically feasible without exceeding current or reasonably anticipated capacity limitations, on reasonable rates and terms to be negotiated with requesting parties. This includes both the ability to connect to the public Internet and physical interconnection for the exchange of traffic.

Aeneas may employ generally accepted technical measures to provide acceptable service levels to all customers, such as caching and application-neutral bandwidth allocation, as well as measures to address spam, denial of service attacks, illegal content, and other harmful activities. In addition to providing the required connection to the Internet, Aeneas does offer managed services, such as telemedicine, public safety communications, and distance learning, which use private network connections for enhanced quality of service, rather than traversing the public Internet.

Domain Transfer Guide

Transferring domain names between ISPs is a complex process that is often misunderstood. We have created this guide to help you understand the process so you have an idea what to expect, and to help prevent any confusion or service disruptions during the domain transfer process from or to Aeneas.

Because the transfer of domain names requires a high degree of coordination between many parties, the process will take longer than a normal domain name registration. If you have any questions on the process after reading this guide, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss those questions.

Parties Involved and Roles Played

End-User: The party that is requesting the transfer to or from Aeneas Internet & Telephone.

Administrative Contact: The person with the authority to permit the domain to be moved. This person is the domain owner or the owner's assigned agent.

Gaining Registrar: The registrar that is sponsoring the transfer.

Losing Registrar: The current registrar of record for the domain name.

General Transfer Rules

To insure that a domain name transfer is successful:

The domain cannot presently be in either a “locked” or “hold” status.

The domain must have resided with the current registrar for more than 60 days since it was registered or transferred there.

Domain names that are expired, but not deleted (up to 40 days past the expiration date) can be transferred.

The current Administrative Contact’s email must be valid to allow confirmation of the transfer request.

Please Note: Transfers add one year to the domain registration. Regardless of whether there is still time on the current registration another year's registration will be added to the domain, along with the additional registration fee.

For domains moving from Aeneas Internet & Telephone, we will approve all legitimate transfer requests with 12 business hours of receipt. Once this request is processed you will need to contact the new registrar for further information.
Domain Name Transfer ProcessTransfers to Aeneas Internet & Telephone

For a smooth transfer, you should:

Make sure your Administrative Contact has been notified about the move.

Make sure Aeneas has the following information:

Instructions for the MX record reference (for the purposes of domain based e-mails)

Information on where your website is located if not hosted with Aeneas (includes IP addresses etc.)

If you wish to make changes to the Administrative Contact or any of the contact information, this is the best time to make those changes. Any desired changes should be submitted in writing.

Once Aeneas receives a request to move a domain name to our services, we will initiate the process to move the domain name from your current registrar to Aeneas by making a transfer request by e-mail to the current Administrative Contact on your account.

The Administrative Contact has 5 days to either approve or decline the request. If the contact fails to respond to the request, the request is automatically approved after the 5th day. However, if the contact declines the request, we must wait 9 days before canceling the request. This time period is to allow for any limitations between communication systems between registrars.

Upon approval, the transfer will be processed. This will include the following changes:

The domain is moved to Aeneas

The WHOIS information is updated

DNS information is updated if necessary

Transfers from Aeneas Internet & Telephone

Aeneas must receive a request to move the domain from us in writing. Making requests by e-mail is fine. Once we have received the request, we will respond within 12 business hours. Once approved you will need to contact the new registrar for further information regarding your domain.

CAUTION: When transferring your domain from Aeneas, please make sure that where applicable the new domain server host:

is prepared take responsibility for the MX record so your e-mail is not interrupted

has the necessary information to point your domain to your website

has your correct contact information registered to the domain to ensure long term management and future changes go smoothly.

Aeneas is not responsible for any of the above information, or for any service interruptions that may occur if these steps have not been taken.

Unlimited Nationwide Long Distance Policy

The Aeneas Nationwide Unlimited Long Distance plan is only available for customers calling from the 901 or 731 area codes. Aeneas Nationwide Long Distance is for typical domestic voice usage only. Callers must dial 1+ area code + 7-digit telephone number for the call to be included without an additional charge. Subscribers to this plan may use it only for typical voice usage and may not use it for extended internet or data calling. This plan is not available to customers with a multi-line account unless the plan is subscribed to all lines. It is not available to an account that bills to another number or is the recipient of charges billed from another number unless the customer establishes separate billing accounts for each line. Unlimited plan usage does not include multi-party conference calls, calls to 900 numbers, directory assistance, calling card, operator services, calls to Alaska and Hawaii, international calling and toll free calling services. If Aeneas determines that usage under this plan is not consistent with residential customer usage as described herein, the Customer will be subject to an additional fee of $50.00 and additional minutes will be billed at $0.07/minute. Customers may be offered an alternative plan at Aeneas’ sole discretion. For the purposes of this plan, usage of more than 5,000 minutes per month shall not be considered typical residential usage. Additional state mandated charges may apply on certain specified routes. In order to be eligible for this plan, Aeneas must be able to verify that the Customer meets each of the eligibility requirements. Customers who no longer meet these eligibility requirements will not be eligible for this plan and will be contacted by Aeneas and offered an alternative plan. Taxes, fees and other charges, including the Universal Service Fund, apply.

911 Service

The FCC has recently ruled that VoIP providers must supply a mandatory 911 Services to their customers. Read more here.

Aeneas is fully compliant with the FCC's requirements. We have years of experience as a telephone provider, and it has always been our intention to provide our VoIP customers with service just as reliable as any landline telephone. This includes 911 service. For your safety, we have always provided our VoIP customers with 911 service that allows you to call 911 and receive a response just as you would over a landline telephone. 911 service is included in ALL our telephone packages. You do not have to ask for this service to receive it from Aeneas.

E911 Service will be provided to the SERVICE ADDRESS associated with your Aeneas services. Should your address change, it is necessary for you to notify Aeneas of your new SERVICE ADDRESS. VoIP customers who are using a SIP phone may carry that phone with them to a location besides their Service Address. However, emergency responders will be sent to the Service Address on file.

E911 service for VoIP customers can only be provided in the 731, 901, 615, and 931 area codes. If you take your SIP phone outside of these areas, 911 service cannot be provided.

Open Internet Compliance

The Federal Communications Commission issued rules to preserve the Internet as an open platform. These rules went into effect on November 20, 2011 and can be found at this link. All Internet service providers are required to post information regarding various issues so that consumers, both residential and business, can make informed choices about choosing an Internet service provider. This document contains information regarding our services and in compliance with the FCC's rules. The policies contained herein serve as a supplement to the existing terms of service.

The FCC's rules focus on four primary issues:

Transparency. Fixed and mobile broadband providers must disclose the network management practices, performance characteristics, and terms and conditions of their broadband services;

No blocking. Fixed broadband providers may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices; mobile broadband providers may not block lawful Web sites, or block applications that compete with their voice or video telephony services; and

Reasonable network management. ISPs may engage in reasonable network management to maintain a high quality of service for broadband Internet access.

Network Practices

ISPs must disclose their network practices, specifically in the four general areas listed below. ISPs may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices, subject to reasonable network management. An ISP may not block consumers from accessing lawful Web sites, subject to reasonable network management; nor shall the ISP block applications that compete with the provider's voice or video telephony services, subject to reasonable network management. ISPs may not unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic over a consumer's broadband Internet access service, although, reasonable network management shall not constitute unreasonable discrimination. The FCC's rules state that a network management practice is reasonable if it is appropriate and tailored to achieving a legitimate network management purpose, taking into account the particular network architecture and technology of the broadband Internet access service.

Congestion Management:

Aeneas Communications maintains high availability and reach-ability targets by peering with multiple upstream providers and load balancing incoming and outgoing traffic via BGP metrics, communities, and preferences. Traffic on each egress path is monitored by the Operations staff and reviewed by Engineering for bandwidth management and forecasting.

All transit traffic is managed without regard to application, unless a specific customer requests or negotiates application specific limitations for that customer's access link(s). Standard datalink and network prioritization settings are honored within our transit network. Connecting to multiple providers (including at least one but preferably two Tier I providers) allows for higher performance and lower transit times for customer traffic, getting traffic from the sending network to the receiving network by traversing the fewest number of transit networks.

Each egress link is managed with a goal of less than 60% peak utilization while still allowing for the most direct path between internal and external IP networks. If utilization exceeds these targets, routes are adjusted to move traffic to a path with lesser utilization. If utilization reaches or exceeds 60% of total committed bandwidth for a hub location over a 3-month period, then subscription increases are recommended by Engineering and reviewed by Management.

Application-Specific Behavior:

All transit traffic is managed without regard to application, unless a specific customer requests or negotiates application specific limitations for that customer's access link(s). Standard datalink and network prioritization settings are honored within our transit network.

Device Attachment Rules:

Customer devices are not restricted by type, though Aeneas may require Aeneas-owned equipment as termination for access circuits at the customer location.

Security:

Internet connectivity is sold as an open connection between the customer and the Internet, though customers may choose to purchase security services separately from the connectivity services. Aeneas maintains industry standard engineering practices to secure its network.

Performance Characteristics

ISPs must disclose the following network performance characteristics:

Service Description:

Aeneas provides broadband access via ADSL, DS1, Fiber and other Ethernet services. Transit times to cross the network are guaranteed to be less than 80 ms and average less than 20 ms. With proper end-user device configuration, connections are suitable for real-time services.

Impact of Specialized Services:

Aeneas offers managed voice services, managed private network (MPN/VPN), and desktop/server virtualization services. All specialized services delivered by Aeneas include prioritized traffic implementation in accordance with parameters specified by or recommended to the customer to ensure the proper availability and quality of all services.

Aeneas maintains and manages a technical support staff to handle trouble reports, acceptable use violations, and other service inquiries.

FCC Notice

If a customer believes that these open Internet rules are not being met, the customer may file an informal complaint at the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC urges customers to submit any complaints via its website at the following address: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm. Customers may also file a formal complaint at the FCC using Part 76 of the Commission’s rules.

Additional Disclaimers

The Open Internet Rules, as adopted, and these Open Internet Principles are not intended to affect, alter or otherwise supersede the legal status of cooperative efforts by broadband Internet Access Service Providers and other service providers that are designed to curtail infringement in response to information provided by rights holders in a manner that is timely, effective, and accommodates the legitimate interests of the company, rights holders, and end users. Furthermore, the FCC's Open Internet Rules, as adopted, and this company's Open Internet Principles do not prohibit the company from making reasonable efforts to address the transfer of unlawful content or unlawful transfers of content. For additional information, please review the Acceptable Use Policy.

Policy for Call Data Requests

Aeneas personnel are regularly contacted by customers as well as law enforcement agencies asking for access to call detail information. Aeneas takes the privacy of its customers very seriously, but we are required by law to assist law enforcement agencies with valid requests for call data. Aeneas can be exposed to great liability if this privileged information is given out unlawfully. The procedures that follow are provided to allow a uniform response to all requests, whether via a customer or a law enforcement agency.

CUSTOMER REQUESTS

If a customer calls in with a request for call history on an account in their name, they need to be told of the options available to them.

If a customer calls in with a request for information on an account not in their name, the person should be advised that it is illegal for Aeneas to give out that information to them. If the person claims to have a problem with annoying or threatening calls or an emergency situation, they should be referred to their local police department or sheriff’s office.

Caller ID

Caller ID can identify the source of annoying or harassing calls and allow you to screen unwanted calls. You can also order Caller ID with Name and Number Delivery, which displays both the name and number of the caller.

Call Return

Call Return allows you to call back the person that just called you. Just by dialing *69, you will be given the last incoming callers phone number.

Selective Call Rejection

With Selective Call Rejection, you can create a list of up to six telephone numbers you wish to block. Blocked callers will reach a prerecorded message telling them that the Selective Call Rejection feature has been activated, without your phone ever ringing.

Anonymous Call Rejection

Anonymous Call Rejection provides Caller ID subscribers with the ability to intercept blocked numbers. If the caller blocks their name and number delivery, the call is terminated and your phone does not ring.

Call Tracing

Call Tracing gives you the best solution available for tracking down and ending annoying calls. Aeneas Internet & Telephone will release the trace information to law enforcement authorities.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REQUESTS

Routine

If a law enforcement agency contacts Aeneas for call data information; it is usually in the course of an investigation. Investigators know the law requires a subpoena or warrant whenever it is possible to get one and they shouldn’t be surprised that Aeneas requires a subpoena or warrant to access such information. Besides, the information is no good to them if ruled inadmissible for violating the Fourth Amendment.

Emergency

On rare occasions law enforcement may ask for call information and claim that there is not time to get a warrant or subpoena due to some emergency. The law does recognize an exception to the warrant/subpoena requirement under such “exigent circumstances”. After consultation with our local District Attorney General, Aeneas has developed a policy balancing the legitimate need to comply with valid requests of law enforcement and the legitimate need to protect Aeneas in the event such an exigency is incorrectly claimed by law enforcement. If an employee receives such a request, they should immediately transfer the call to a manager.

PROCEDURE IF EMERGENCY IS CLAIMED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL

The officer will be asked to identify him/her and the phone number for the agency they work for.

The officer will be requested to fill out the attached “Statement of Exigent Circumstances” which will be available online or by fax.

The completed sheet will be returned to Aeneas before the information is given.

We will, under “exigent circumstances”, begin to gather the requested data while awaiting the return of the request form.

If the officer does not complete the form and return it, the Aeneas employee handling the request shall complete the attached “Notice of Failure to Claim Exigent Circumstances” and send it by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the requesting law enforcement agency.

DEPOSITS AND ADVANCE PAYMENTS: All new service orders are subject to a credit check. Based on the results of the credit check, a $100 minimum deposit plus any install/set-up fees will be required in advance of service commencing. The deposit does not cover the first month of service. Installation costs and/or switching fees must also be paid in advance at the time of deposit payment, but are non-refundable.

At any time after six consecutive months of good payment, customers can request that their deposit be available for application toward service charges. (Six consecutive months of good payment must end on current date. Good payment history that has occurred more than six months from current date is not valid.) Customer must initiate request for deposit to be applied to service charges. Deposit remains in reserve on customer's account until customer's services with Aeneas end. If customer fails to initiate deposit application toward service charges on their account, customer has six months after end of service in which to request refund of held deposit. Deposits not requested within six months will be assessed an administrative charge equal to said deposit.

BILLING: Unless otherwise agreed in a customer contract with Aeneas, we will send an itemized statement to the email address you specify each month. For a small charge of $3.00/month (residential) or $5.00/month (business), we will prepare and snail-mail a paper copy of your statement to the address you specify via the US Postal Service. Payment is due by the due date posted on the bill.

HOW TO PAY YOUR BILL: Bills may be paid by cash, check, money order, online billpay, or bank draft/credit card. Dial up Internet customers are all billed against a bank draft/credit card.

Accounts 15 days “past due” may be suspended and rendered inoperable. Reestablishment of suspended accounts requires payment in full of the past due balance plus all assessed reconnect fees ($35.00 per telephone line and $20.00 per Internet connection). Accounts 30 days “past due” may be terminated.

RETURNED CHECKS/BANKDRAFTS: Aeneas imposes a $30.00 charge for returned checks/bank drafts and reserves the right to interrupt services should payment be returned. Returned checks will not be re-deposited. Payment for returned checks must be in certified funds (cash, credit/debit card, or money order).

COLLECTIONS: In the event it is necessary to utilize the services of a collection agency or an attorney to recover payment for services rendered or breach of contract, customer shall be liable for the reasonable cost of collection including, but not limited to,attorney fees and court costs. Aeneas reserves the right to refer a customer to a collections agency or an attorney at any time (No time limits apply).

FINAL BILLS: Except for voice service covered by a tariff, service periods for billing are never less than one full month. You must notify Aeneas by email or US Postal Service of your desire to terminate an account. Remember, terminating a contract before it’s agreed end date may subject you to “termination charges” for tariffed services as well as non-tariffed services.

DISPUTED INVOICES: In the event Customer disputes any portion of a Aeneas invoice, Customer shall pay the undisputed portion of the invoice by the date due, and shall submit to Aeneas a written claim for the disputed amount, which shall set forth with specificity Customer?s grounds for such dispute. All disputes must be raised and claims submitted within ninety (90) days of receipt of the invoice for those Services or such claims shall be deemed waived and invoices shall be deemed correct. In the event that the dispute is resolved against Customer, Customer shall pay such amount plus interest. If the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute in a timely brought by Customer hereunder, either Party may pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to it.

ADDITIONAL INTERNET BILLING POLICIES: Accounts may be upgraded to the next level of usage at no charge. If on an Aeneas Prepay account, all changes must be requested before the last day of the current billing cycle and will take effect on the first of the next billing cycle.

Any Internet-based services will not be prorated if such services are cancelled before the end of a billing cycle.
